I´m a far away traveller I travel alone Searching in the mist For what I know exists for me Out there
Solitary awaits me out there I know she will She was there before the rain Before these dunes, before they made The pyramids
Oh, waited so long Have I finally found the road to lead home?
The moon was low, and the road dusty When I was captured by some thieves, my pockets empty And I said: "You´ll have to kill me To cut this jewel out of me So let me go"
Stopped at the next bar for a neat drink
Across from where I sat a man gazed at me He looked just like James Dean On the silver screen, our eyes did meet And he winked at me
Is this the one? Have I finally found the man to lead home? "Will you help me and my horses on our way Through night and day?"
Oh, I can see my destination on the line And if the stars are aligned Not gonna be a next time I´ll check him as he´s sleeping Can never trust a man who´s drinking whiskey at the bar alone His arm´s around your waist And your hair is blowing in the wind and it felt alright
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And on that second night he came for me He took a knife out of his boot and silently I learned the truth He was a liar A leech and a beggar And through the embers I watched him kill my horses
